    Connect on the Quest: A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety – How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet

    Virtual Event via Zoom

    Connect on the Quest - for any climate action advocate - green school mentor - teacher - community member - all are welcome - Wednesday, February 8, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm, online.

Drawing on a decade of experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an “existential tool kit” for youth who are reenergizing global environmental activism – the “climate generation.” Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. Her new book, a Field Guide to Climate Anxiety, is the essential guidebook for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time.

    Register Your School for the 2024-2025 Green Schools Quest!

    Registration is now open for the annual Green Schools Quest: A Project-Based Challenge! This program, which is a part of the Show-Me Green Schools suite, invites PreK-12 schools in Missouri and Southern Illinois to devise and implement creative, effective and no/low-cost sustainability practices at their school with the help of a Green Mentor. Each participating school forms a team of students (can be a club, class, grade level, or entire school) which is organized by one adult member of a school’s community (teacher, administrator, staff, or parent) who serves as their team’s facilitator. The school is then paired with a Green Mentor from the community who helps with project ideas and resources. Teams engage in their chosen sustainability project from October through March and submit their outcomes for a chance to win cash prizes. Registration deadline is September 15th for schools.
